20 Years, 200 Gbps! 🎉 RENU marks 20 years of connecting Uganda’s research and education community with a major milestone. Our national backbone network has been upgraded to 200 Gbps, expanding capacity across the entire network and strengthening our ability to support digital learning, data intensive research, innovation, and global collaboration.

This upgrade reflects years of growth, strong partnerships, and a shared commitment to building reliable, affordable, and future ready infrastructure for our members. From enabling high volume research data transfers to supporting eduroam, campus networks, and emerging AI driven use cases, the 200 Gbps backbone is built for today and ready for what comes next. Thank you to our members and partners who continue to build this journey with us. For more details, read our press release using the link below; renu.ac.ug/renu-marks-20-…
